Player Watch #7: Liam Baker - Traded to West Coast for pick 14

[damicky]

That's when the best sh*t happens.


Racist pies? Surely just pies.

What's the deal with the pies though?

Collingwood guilty of “systemic racism” ... Lumumba vindicated

 

[box070]

Yep

Hahaha that’s the best.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Is it true he got caught up in a cat fight?

Humour free zone .

Not the full quid.

 

[Lsta062]

Police are now probing. That’s not to say that Baker’s at fault of course, but I’m kinda getting sick of seeing us in the news for things like this tbh. I don’t know the facts, but is it really that hard to avoid being in the situations that some of our players have found themselves in?

Starting to get over it even putting aside the media vultures that are starting to become more like gossip columnists than journalists that report on facts.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Protected tweets by an insane person.
Stands to reason.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Was going to write the other day Bakes is the best ground ball get winner in the AFL.
Wins the ball at ground level in the hot spot of the halfback line and disrupts the opposition chain of possession and forward entries.
Just our young players need to be careful at venues because there's always some nobody (not referring to the other person) who wants to take a cheap potshot.
Elite star athletes like Liam need to be careful of grog intake.

[Mr Unbelievable]

Bakes is underrated

Last night I re-watched the prelim v Poort and GF ...Bakes created so much run and carry off he / bp...sublime foot skills running at full tilt...matched it with Duckwood in the aggro

Im 100% behind Baker...one of my favourite players

He is a ****ing gun ... absolutely !!

 

[Bojangles17]

Gun player bakes I love him, a couple of his left foot goal assists lace out on GF day to George and jack were rolled gold

has been cleared of any wrongdoing in a nightclub incident late last month.

Baker, 23, was capsicum-sprayed by a female pub goer outside the Osborne Rooftop and Bar in South Yarra on January 31 about 1.30am.

The club on Monday confirmed Baker had been cleared for his involvement in the matter after talks with the backman and a review of the closed circuit television from the nightclub.


While the Tigers would not comment on the situation, the club now considered the matter finalised.

 

[Genghis Tron]

So I'm guessing there might be some truth in Baker trying to split up a fight?

Ahhh Bakes, always trying to affect a contest. Love it.

Looking forward to seeing him in 2021. Once again campaigners, not on the footy field, but from the stands...

He’s in my Top 5 favourite players. Tough, courageous, skilful, exciting, reliable.

 

[BC9_]

Just as an aside, about that gif:



In the actual scene, what the **** is going on? Did he really need to zoom in on in the image? Get some glasses Antonio you campaigner.

 

[Drofder]

What a player he’s become.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Imagine bakes getting to dusty’s level, he’d be the best AFL stud ever

Cotchin is a wrecking ball and baker is tiny.

People seem keen on fixing what's not broken. Why not just leave short and baker in their current roles?

Vlastuin is more likely to be pushed middle
